User mode linux is quite good. It's basically a port of the linux kernel to run under linux, instead of just talking to the hardware directly. I've just started using it at work to package software for our debian servers. You won't need seperate partitions. A filesystem image sits in a single file that your UML boots off. http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/ has packages, as well as a number of pre-made root filesystems for different distributions. I couldn't see a RH8 one, but there was a link to a HOWTO to install RH8 at http://linuxhacker.ru/uml/ Hope that helps, -- Pete -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
